| Gemini | hm,why when i start that update thing in ubuntu,my laptop freez? | 09:56 |
| clarkthehardy910 | can someone help me install my graphics card driver (or change my output frequency) using the LiveCD? I can't get safemode or even grub with my fresh install. | 11:56 |
| clarkthehardy910 | but I can boot the LiveCD | 11:57 |
| nlsthzn | clarkthehardy910: press f8 at boot time to be able to select some parameters... one of them will let you boot using general vesa driver or something similar... | 12:04 |
| clarkthehardy910 | do I press f8 before holding down shift? | 12:04 |
| clarkthehardy910 | nlsthzn: ? | 12:04 |
| nlsthzn | clarkthehardy910: no shift required... just f8 at the beginning of boot | 12:05 |
| clarkthehardy910 | ok | 12:05 |
| clarkthehardy910 | can you hang on and let me try? | 12:05 |
| clarkthehardy910 | nlsthzn: just tried f8 it doesnt work | 12:06 |
| clarkthehardy910 | still getting "Attention Out of range" | 12:06 |
| clarkthehardy910 | nlsthzn: is there a way to change the settings with the LiveCD booted | 12:06 |
| clarkthehardy910 | nlsthzn: I dont even see a boot menu, if I hold shift, I see it say Loading Grub, but only for a split second | 12:07 |
| clarkthehardy910 | I mean "GRUB Loading" to be exact | 12:08 |
| nlsthzn | clarkthehardy910: pressing f8 will give you the menu you need | 12:23 |
| clarkthehardy910 | nlsthzn: I've tried it four times | 12:24 |
| clarkthehardy910 | nlsthzn: it doesn't work | 12:24 |
| nlsthzn | clarkthehardy910: that is very strange :/ | 12:24 |
| clarkthehardy910 | nlsthzn: I have an old CRT monitor for this machine | 12:24 |
| clarkthehardy910 | nlsthzn: it will boot the LiveCD | 12:24 |
| clarkthehardy910 | nlsthzn: but as soon as I hold down shift or f8 without the cd inserted, I get a screen that I believe is a refresh rate problem...I've looked at these topics, but they dont get me very far | 12:25 |

| nlsthzn | clarkthehardy910: I don't have the knowledge to assist you from there (if is is possible)... maybe someone else will be along soon... as for the link to launchpad... things have changed a lot since 6.06... | 12:26 |
| clarkthehardy910 | ok... thanks for trying | 12:27 |
| clarkthehardy910 | =) | 12:27 |
| clarkthehardy910 | nlsthzn: I wish there was a way to edit my graphics settings from the livecd terminal prompt | 12:27 |
| clarkthehardy910 | but i know know how to mount and get permission to my installation | 12:28 |
| nlsthzn | clarkthehardy910: way back when there was a file that x11 used that you could have edited... now it isn't used anymore... I do know that if the file is available it will be used but I have no idea now what the best solution is (or what that file is called now... been to long ago I struggled with something like this) | 12:29 |
| clarkthehardy910 | nlsthzn: ok, thanks for the explanation | 12:30 |
| nlsthzn | clarkthehardy910: take all I said as 10% reliable :p (I do) | 12:30 |
| clarkthehardy910 | nlsthzn: ok, thanks.... | 12:30 |
| clarkthehardy910 | nlsthzn: supposing that f8 works | 12:31 |
| clarkthehardy910 | and it actually gets to the login options, but I can't see them because my screen issues | 12:31 |
| clarkthehardy910 | nlsthzn: is it possible to do it blind? I mean, if its only a few choices to get safe graphics mode | 12:31 |
| clarkthehardy910 | nlsthzn: couldn't i theoretically choose it without seeing it and then eventually get Unity booted in it or at least to command prompt? | 12:32 |
| clarkthehardy910 | from there I can change the refresh rate | 12:32 |
| nlsthzn | clarkthehardy910: I guess it is if someone knows it off by heart (I am at work now and I don't even run Ubuntu currently)... but I find it strange that you don't have any refresh rate issues with the live CD ... and also, the boot prompt shouldn't give you issues with your refresh either :/ | 12:33 |
| clarkthehardy910 | I've got ubuntu installed in its own partition, can I mount it and then change settings? | 12:35 |
| clarkthehardy910 | working on the Live CD | 12:35 |
| clarkthehardy910 | nlsthzn: the CD's Monitors GUI gives two frequency options: 85 and 75 Hz, but Unity is apparently trying to boot with a 90 hz rate, because that's what the error message says: 90 Hor and 60 Ver | 12:38 |
| martijn1985 | Does anyone know why my NFS server works fine on Natty, but on Lucid the client can't find the shared directory's? /etc/exports is exactly the same file and the firewall is turned on with natty, but off on lucid | 13:30 |
| clarkthehardy910 | when trying to boot a fresh install of Unity 11.04 (I've only had one successful boot, at which time, I updated the driver for my geforce nvidia graphics card), now upon reboot, its saying that there's no such disk and no such device: (lots of 0s behind it), must first load the kernal. What do I do to get my ubuntu back up and running? | 14:05 |
| phoenix_ | I have an issue with finding applications in 11.04. Just installed Crossover Games and I can't seem to find the shortcut. Anyone know? | 14:25 |
| coalwater | what's the process name of the vnc server ubuntu has | 14:53 |
| froq | Hello! Does anyone know where I can get a nice written guide of all the customization options available to me when using 10.04 LTS?! I wanted to customize my desktop. | 16:48 |
| stlsaint | froq: i have not seen such a document as you have the options of not only using the default settings but also other apps such as compiz, emerald theme manager,etc so no one document covers them all | 16:53 |
| froq | stlsaint, thank you! no no, that is the direction I wanted. :) Appreciate it. I am not a fan of compiz b/c it freaks with vnc viewer. | 16:54 |
| stlsaint | froq: emerald theme manager is nice | 16:54 |
| stlsaint | then again it uses compiz, forgot about that | 16:54 |
| froq | stlsaint, o bummer... anything you know of that doesn't use compiz ?!?! Just don' | 16:57 |
| froq | just don't like it because it makes VNC super slow. | 16:57 |
| stlsaint | froq: well what type of customizations are you looking for? | 17:00 |
| froq | ... idk jsut want to play around. not a fan of the simplinest of gnome 2 from default. | 17:01 |
| froq | stlsaint, I am just a man who is bored with the current look who refuses to change to a newer version until it is LTS again or they fix the VNC problem. if that is possible?! idk | 17:07 |
| stlsaint | froq: well check out the default options in the appearance menu | 17:08 |
| froq | yep yep ok | 17:08 |

| Edgar970 | Hi, please anyone knows the method to install XBMC media center on natty with gnome 3, thanks a lot | 18:56 |
| bioterror | Edgar970, sudo apt-get install xbmc? :D | 19:16 |
| geirha | Yay, I just passed 2K points on askubuntu :) | 22:48 |
| UBUNTUN00B | hey all | 22:51 |
| froq | is it possible to install amarok on gnome?! or do I have to use KDE? | 23:26 |
| froq | nvm... i just sudo apt-get install amarok... didn't realize you could install KDE apps too... it just brings lots of dependencies. | 23:27 |
| scottyfubar | four questions | 23:28 |
| scottyfubar | 1. how do i tell empathy not to show who is entering or leaving an irc room? | 23:28 |
| scottyfubar | ah well, i see nobody's here either... | 23:30 |
| froq | scottyfubar, I am here... but idk. | 23:30 |
| scottyfubar | oh. | 23:30 |
| froq | never used empathy. | 23:30 |
| scottyfubar | what are you using? | 23:30 |
| scottyfubar | (i.e. which irc client software?) | 23:31 |
| froq | xchat. | 23:32 |
| froq | sudo apt-get install xchat | 23:32 |
| scottyfubar | wonderful. do you know the command within xchat for my question? | 23:32 |
| froq | by default, xchat does not show that information. | 23:34 |
| scottyfubar | even better. thanks! see ya :) | 23:34 |
| charlie-tca | There is an option for each channel by right-clicking the channel, to turn those off or on | 23:34 |
| charlie-tca | (in Xchat, I don' t know Xchat-gnome) | 23:35 |
| scottyfubar | nothing similar here. | 23:35 |
| scottyfubar | oh, i might as well ask my other questions, to see if you know the answers :) | 23:35 |
| froq | xchat vs. xchat-gnome?! what is the difference? | 23:36 |
| scottyfubar | 2. i can't get the sound card to turn off the internal speaker when i plug in a headphone set. any ideas? | 23:36 |
| charlie-tca | Xchat was first, xchat-gnome is a fork with fewer options | 23:36 |
| froq | charlie-tca, ... o got ya... I think I just have xchat, not xchat gnome. :) | 23:37 |
| charlie-tca | Probably | 23:37 |
| scottyfubar | okay, no answer for question 2, how about 3. | 23:41 |
| scottyfubar | dvd's don't play | 23:42 |
